Peanut Butter-Finger Bites

Hello! It seems I’ve been avoiding the baked goods for a stretch of time here. Please understand. It’s swimsuit season after all, and all the hard work I have done with p90x is going out the window! I can’t seem to stop eating treats. Even though I send them to my husband’s work, I keep making more!

Now, I have my husband’s coworkers sending me recipes, cookbook files and links of food they like, or think I would like. Yeah, that’s bad. But good (if you are a co-worker of hubby please keep sending me ideas)! But it’s bad. Because one of those ideas was to make Butterfingers.

I was so determined to make these, that even though I opened my kitchen drawer and found my candy thermometer shattered, I forged on. Afterall, we’re talking butterfingers. The same candy bar I used to trade all other candy for on Halloween. Yeah, yum.

These are delicious. Given that I did not use a candy thermometer they still turned out perfect. Hubby thinks I should use less peanut butter next time, but I don’t always listen to him. Especially when he talks about food. I mean, c’mon, the guy hates mushrooms but loves peanut butter and garlic sandwiches. He’s mine ladies, back off!

Here’s what it comes down to though. These are really good, I ate five of them. Okay 6. Now, I must go exercise for the second time today (I had BBQ ribs too, which put me over the top), and I’m positive that while walking I will think about food. And what to bake tomorrow. Cause that’s what I do. Don’t judge.

One more thing. You could pour this into an 8×8 pan and cut into bites or bars. I however use my silicone brownie bites pan, which I love. You don’t need to grease it or anything, they pop right out when set! Perfect too for cookies, brownies, toffee. Yum. (this is what it looks like, you can find it online or at Michael’s…Wilton 2105-4923 24-Cavity Silicone Brownie-Squares Baking Mold. Enjoy!

Peanut Butter-finger Bites

Ingredients:

Directions:

In saucepan, heat water, corn syrup and sugar until boiling. Boil for 10-12 minutes, keeping it at a continuous boil and stirring constantly. Remove from heat and quickly stir in warmed peanut butter.

I pour these into my silicone brownie pan that has individual bites (24). But you could also pour them into a foil lined, and buttered, 8inch pan. Work quickly as it begins to harden. Press lightly into pan or brownie pan.

Allow to set in refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight. When firm, melt chocolate candy coating according to package directions. I use chocolate candiquik, but you could also use Wilton's candy melts. Dip butter-finger in melted chocolate using a fork. Set on wax paper. Enjoy.

I am right there with ya!!! I just keeping baking more treats even though I have been trying to lose those unwanted pounds. I am right there with you on p90x…woo hoo I made it to week 4. One of these days I am going to see results…right??? These looks super fab!!!!

I love love love butterfingers haha we have p90x too but haven’t tried it as we were tired after watching the 1st disk lol. I will make these & then perhaps start a diet. One last hoorah right? Thanks stopping by from Sweet Peas & Bumblebees.~Iffy~http://www.stayathomenation.blogspot.com

Oh my goodness! Those homemade butterfingers have me drooling. It is funny that all your husband’s coworkers keep sending you recipes. That could be dangerous 🙂 Thanks for coming over to share your recipe at These Chicks Cooked Recipe spotlight. Have a wonderful weekend!Katie

Oh, these look delicious! I love to make candy during the holidays for teachers’ gifts. I’ll definitely keep this recipe in my file. I’d like to invite you to share your recipe on A Well-Seasoned Life’s Sweet Indulgences Sunday.

Yuuuummy! Butterfingers are my hubby’s favorite, so I think these are going on my list of items to bake. 🙂 I totally feel you about the whole sweets ruining hard work thing. I’m in the same boat as you! And you had me cracking up about not listening to your husband’s opinions all the time when it comes to food. I second that… hehe.

Yet another thing I miss most from the U.S……Butterfinger or any chocolate/peanut butter marvel…..Could I possibly use Lindt chocolate or a dark chocolate instead of Wilton candy melts?…Really difficult to locate here…unfortunately…but I can use Lyle’s Golden Syrup for the corn syrup I believe!….Thanks for your generous sharing of your profound culinary acumen!!

OOPS!!…Just another question….What did you use for the garnish/sprinkle on top of these luscious-looking wonders….chopped peanuts or a cookie crumble?

I’ll bet crushed speculoos (Biscoff)cookie crumbles would be awesome…or a praline or toffee riff….or even putting Biscoff crumbles into the peanut butter mixture for “crunch factor”?!…Obviously need to get outside and on with my life today!…Chortle.
